I won’t be updating the website for the rest of the day as I’ll be attending a Nintendo press event in London to celebrate the launch of the Flare Red Nintendo 3DS in the UK. I will be Tweeting throughout the event so make sure to catch me on Twitter. As well as celebrating the launch I’ll also be playing Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7. Have a great day and I’ll try to update when I get home later in the evening! Thanks.
